22nd October 2018

Nets opened at 0730 in strong westerly wind that increased to very strong by the time netting finished at 1245.

Just 25 new birds of 12 species continues the pattern of a very frustrating autumn.

Lasse, Yonas and Einar spent time around the island in the morning and noted how few birds there are here at the moment.

There will be three at the Obs overnight; Chris, Kay & Lasse.
